Lined up in the front row of the honored guests stage, General Nunally joined Senator and former vice presidential candidate Kefauver, Governor Rosellini, and U.S. Senator and future vice president and presidential candidate Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota. They appear to laughing at something Master of Ceremonies and Plaza Chief Jack Gordon was saying. Humphrey was in Seattle for the Salute to American Labor ceremony held two days later on September 3.
